What a difference a week makes. After struggling to get a consistent attack going in the Buckeyes’ 31-16 loss to Oklahoma and then enduring seven days of withering criticism from Ohio State fans, J.T. Barrett rebounded Saturday against Army with a record-breaking performance. With a fourth-quarter touchdown pass to Austin Mack…

After we all nailed our week one picks, week two went… not as well. That seemed to be going around. I was the only person to predict a team’s score exactly, so I’ll declare myself the winner, but really there were no winners last weekend. Except for Oklahoma.

The fifth and final act of J.T. Barrett’s Ohio State career took a dark turn on Saturday night as the Ohio State offense sputtered once again in a 31-16 loss to Oklahoma.

Today’s featured game checks in at #9 on our countdown, and it was a lot closer than it was supposed to be.

The wait is almost over, and the most wonderful time of the year is finally within sight. College football season kicks off Saturday with five FBS games on the schedule. Stanford and Rice face off in Australia, which is kind of odd, and Hawaii will travel more than 5,000 miles to play in front of 5,000 people at UMass. However, those…
